The next day, at exactly eleven o'clock, the Eagle met Nindya in front of the elevator, passed each other and stared at each other in awkwardness. The warm night yesterday instantly flashed across the brains of the two.
The eagle laughed lightly to melt the situation. He intends to go to the head of the department to submit a guidance report, while Nindya has been waiting for Daniel downstairs to have lunch together.
"Where are you going?" asked the Eagle in a voice that only Nindya could hear. He stopped to talk for a moment.
Nindya glanced at the surroundings before replying in a soft voice, "Lunch."
"Just Daniel? How long?"
"El, please!" Nindya raised her face to look at her students who showed objection.
"Our business is not finished yet" said the cold Eagle. "Before all is clear, I don't want to see you see each other often, Daniel!"
Nindya. The eagle stared intently with a threatening, demanding and jealous look. "Don't start a commotion here, El! My head is dizzy."
Hearing Nindya complain of not being careless makes the Eagle heartless. Nindya's wistful sharpener lowered the blood pressure of the Eagle which almost exceeded the limit. "Okay, don't be long! Call me when you're done!"
Geez, how could his naughty student now feel more possessed of himself than his fiancee? Nindya did not believe that the possessive phrase came out of the Eagle's lips. Didn't expect that the expression of love from the tailed Eagle was getting uncomfortable.
"El, don't be selfish!" nindya protests are lirih but firm. The eagle cannot love him, it cannot! Everything will fall apart if the Eagle continues to chase after him, it could be that Nindya will melt and return the love of her students. Nah! Not yet the time, thought Nindya. He immediately made a quick and unilateral decision, right then and there.
With a heavy heart, the Eagle nodded in defeat, leaving Nindya speechless, only rubbing Nindya's cheeks briefly with his thumb before heading to the kajur room for guidance. Luckily no one noticed them.
Up to the ground floor, Nindya smiled sweetly at her fiance, accompanying Daniel's steps out of the campus area for lunch as planned.
As usual, they sit face to face in a corner of the coffee shop room like business associates who will sign a work contract. Nindya ordered coffee first before eating.
"You don't look well" Daniel said. "Pale."
"I'm fine, a little bit exhausted because there's been a change in the teaching schedule. How are you doing?" tanya Nindya immediately dodged.
"Good too, as always a lot to be done. I took the time to go home because of you, but tomorrow morning I have to come back again." Daniel clasped Nindya's hand on the table. "What's wrong? You can't tell me to go home if this isn't important!"
Nindya looked at her fiance, confused about where to start the conversation. "Oh yeah? Thank you, sorry I've been a hassle."
"So what do you want to talk about until I have to come? You're not forcing me to come back to Semarang to attend your cousin's wedding, are you?"
"Absolutely not," Nindya replied shaking her head. "That's not the problem!"
"So .. What is this about our wedding plans? Do you want to accelerate? I told you …."
"Niel," said Nindya softly, breaking Daniel's sentence that might be long and many reasons. "Can I talk first?"
Spontaneously Daniel did not continue his accusation sentence, "I will listen!"
Nindya took a deep breath, pausing time to set her heart before the line of words slid slowly from her lips, "I can't continue this relationship anymore."
Daniel was stunned, his hands clasping his fingers tighter before asking. "What are you talking about? Why Nindya? What's the matter exactly?"
"But what's the reason, Nindya?" ask Daniel riled. No wind no sudden storm Nindya broke off the engagement. "Why did you suddenly change?"
Nindya is not a rash person in making decisions, too much consideration in fact. It was quite surprising when suddenly Nindya asked for their relationship to end without any obvious reason.
During this time, Nindya considered Daniel very understanding with his busy life, with future steps being laid out for both of them. Without complaints, without demands, Nindya always accompanied Daniel with a lot of support.
"Something's going on with me, Niel! I've made a fatal mistake" said Nindya steadfastly though her look was more mellow and pale.
"Yes but what? I make mistakes often and you always forgive. It's not fair that I don't do that to you, Nindya. Tell me what happened? Someone propose to you? Or did your mother change her mind and won't wait until I marry you next year?"
"Not that …." Nindya spoke softly, staring out for a while before returning to focus on Daniel's eyes holding him hostage out of curiosity.
"Speak Nindya! We've been together all this time, you know who I am for you. I'm not one who can't forgive a mistake, tell the truth! What's our problem until we have to disperse?"
Nindya took a breath and stared fixedly at Daniel's eyes, "We can't continue this engagement because …."
"Because you no longer love me" Daniel continued carefully.
Highlight Nindya's eyes were different as she looked at him, no longer as hopeful and enthusiastic as before. Nindya's eyes are too flat, hiding wounds and overwhelming anxiety, Daniel guesses there is a change in taste in their relationship. Nindya may be saturated and start to get bored of him. "Is it really like that, Nindya?"
"I'm pregnant," Nindya replied in a voice like someone holding back a cry.
Non-rigid. Daniel looked at Nindya. The pretty face in front of her started to blend in with a drop of tears that flowed slowly to her cheeks. No words have been said to express shock, anger, jealousy or hatred for being betrayed.
"Don't joke, honey!" Daniel spoke in a hoarse voice.
Nindya is not likely to get pregnant, Nindya is loyal to her, Nindya is not the type of woman who can share love, Nindya who is known is a quiet figure who respects their commitment.
Nindya took out an envelope containing a two-striped testpack of more than fifteen seeds. "I'm sorry, Daniel!"
Daniel immediately opened the envelope, then was stunned. Nindya is unlikely to give evidence of a toy or is pranking it. Nindya's face was very serious, sad and full of regrets when she gave him a surprise and apologized.
One hand Daniel took the pregnancy test kit, looked at it with nanar and also did not believe. His head shook heavily to find the stifling fact before his eyes.
"How come, Nindya? Are you in a relationship with someone behind my back? Is that how you are the same as me? I still can't believe you can do such a dishonorable thing, Nindya!" Daniel tightened his grip, demanding that Nindya give a reasonable explanation.
"I'm not like that, Daniel! I did not betray you at all. It all happened unintentionally, I misrecognized you …." Nindya began to tell stories of events inside the tent during the night of familiarity without mentioning the name of the student who was also misdirected for considering herself Vivian, with watery eyes and a stifled voice.
"Evicturize your womb! I'll take you to the hospital and take care of all the procedures!" daniel orders Nindya after they speak for nearly two hours, full of debate and drama.
